The Cannonball Run brings Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Farrah Fawcett, Dom DeLuise, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and an all-star cast to the starting line of the ultimate auto race. A madcap cross country scramble that roars full-speed ahead. Hal Needham, the director of such souped-up hits as ''Smokey and the Bandit,'' ''Hooper'' and ''Smokey and the Bandit II'' is at the helm of a wild action-comedy inspired by an actual event: The Cannonball Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash - an anything-goes, all-stops-out and thoroughly illegal competition that has grown to legendary proportions in the last ten years.

Hollywood's version of the "Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash" which really happened for 6 or 7 years in the 70's. The ambulance in the movie actually ran 1 year with Brock Yates (writer at Car and Driver mag) and Hal Needham. Most of the vehicles in the movie ran in at least 1 of the races.I would recommend this to any car buff, if they don't already have it.
